Geograph - photograph every grid square

Amazed and thrilled by this water-washed steel wall on emerging from Sheffield station, my immediate thought was "steel city".
Imagine the designer's brief: hide the traffic, mask the noise, manage pedestrian flows, handle a change of level, create a public space, tick the DDA boxes, provide public art that makes a statement about Sheffield – all brilliantly achieved and visually stunning. The cross section narrows to SK3586 : Blade end of 'Cutting Edge', Sheaf Square. The ends shine blue at night. The change of level is handled by an extensive noise-masking cascade: SK3586 : Sheaf Square, Sheffield, lit at night to evoke a ribbon of molten steel: SK3586 : The Water Cascade, Sheaf Square.
